Study overview

The Master "Industrial Engineering" (WIN) is an interdisciplinary course of studies consisting of engineering and economic parts.

The challenges for companies lie in the permanent innovation of existing products and services in order to successfully compete in the global market. For this purpose, it is necessary to combine sophisticated technology with economic thinking. The master's program therefore contains both technical modules (e.g. "Smart Machines" and "Smart Material Scienes") and modules with an economic focus.

Digital transformation is currently a key focus in strategic corporate development. The master's program "Industrial Engineering" provides the necessary skills to actively shape the future.

Graduates of the master's program are able to apply the acquired competencies independently and on their own responsibility in their future professional practice. A wide range of career opportunities open up across all sectors in middle and senior management.

Study structure

The Master's programme "Industrial Engineering and Management" comprises 90 ECTS divided into three semesters. There are modules that have a technical or economic focus. A number of courses link the technical aspects with a business perspective.

Individual profiling is possible through elective modules. The extensive team-oriented project work is excellent preparation for later professional life, as a task is structured and worked on independently in cooperation with fellow students. In particular, the topics relevant to companies such as digitalisation (Industry 4.0), artificial intelligence, smart materials and sustainable business will play an important role in the degree programme. For this purpose, several modern laboratories with machines and software are also available to deepen the theoretical topics in a practical environment. The degree programme is completed with a scientific Master's thesis, which is often written in cooperation with an industrial partner. After successful completion of the programme, the internationally recognised academic degree Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) is awarded.

Perspectives
